Max 500

Kent

Månen hänger lågt
över allt du tror du såg
Under trasigt moln
går ett Yeti-spår

500 mil i snön
Ett UFO över sjön
och i en blixt ser jag
Keats stå bredvid Baudelaire
Som magi ett ljus man drunknar i
Det finns små trick som får folk
att ge dig mer än du är värd...

Mary Shelleys dröm
syr en sick-sacksöm
över allt som vintern gömt
över allt som hjärtat glömt

500 mil i snön
Ett UFO över sjön
och i en blixt dansar
Lady Day vals med Astaire
Som magi ett ljus man drunknar i
Det finns små trick som får folk
att ge dig mer än du är värd...

500 mil i snön
Ett UFO över sjön
och med en blick får jag folk att tro
på magi ett ljus man drunknar i
Det finns små trick som får folk
att ge dig mer än du är värd....

    Beror väl på vad man menar med nonsens. Inte lika givande som många andra Kent-texter, nej. Men eftersom det genomgående temat i DOJD är uppväxten, så antar jag att det här kan handla om olika förebilder eller helt enkelt bara personer som på något sätt förknippas med deras/Jockes uppväxt. Max 500 är förövrigt en svartklubb i Eskilstuna där Kent spelade långt innan dom fick skivkontrakt..

    en metatext där Jocke Berg beskriver sin textskaparprocess.. hur han skriver låtar som får folk att läsa in saker som inte finns där.. "vad du tror du såg [..] yeti-spår [..] ett ufo över sjön [..] finns små trick som får folk att ge dig mer än vad du är värd", etc.. Mary Shelleys dröm och zickzack-söm illustrerar hur han binder ihop spridda strofer och minnen och får lyssnaren att fylla i resten och plötsligt dansar Lady Day vals med Fred Astaire och med en blick får han folk att tro på magi, ett ljus man drunknar i. alltså är det ingen nonsenstext utan en text om att skapa nonsenstexter.. eller?? ;)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
